Positive Peace in Schools offers a fresh and challenging
perspective on the question of conflict, violence and peace in
schools. Drawing on the most up-to-date theory and research from
the field of peace and conflict studies, this book provides readers
with a strong understanding of the concept of positive peace, and
how the dimensions of peace-keeping, peace-making and
peace-building can be robustly applied in schools. This accessible
book challenges educators everywhere to reconsider the nature of
direct and indirect violence in schools, and the structural and
cultural factors that sustain it. It engages with global traditions
of harmony and balance that are often neglected in Western notions
of liberal securitised peace, in order to suggest a model for
schools that integrates inner and outer peace. The book also
includes practical sections that outline restorative approaches to
discipline, peer mediation, circle learning, and classroom
activities to promote mindfulness, inclusion and wellbeing. Taken
together, these provide a philosophy and a highly effective
framework for building conflict literacy and a culture of peace in
schools.
